Turks, notwith standing all their •-tforzs, have not yet neon able .o resume 41ensivi OperatiOtoi against the . 11 - 11 . 4sian army, wl , O POr only maintain theinselves in all their positions, but also daily gam new6olVtintages, The grand object nit longer appears to to, repulse! the Rus.ians from ';' , ctilitnla, but to. deliver the fortress of Rudklitick, '.istlich the - Turks consider, and with justice, hulwaik'ot their empire. To acconi ptish this, they are asenlbling Upon .many potnts the troopS which were ,hr. ad iii the western pit of Bolgaria•,. and making in that province extraordinary' levies. A corps, tolerably numerous; foreed by troops arrived teen Albania and Macedon' e which urited seme tin) • ago, have just marched for Nicopoli. To frustrate the intentions of the bralid Vizier, the di% ision of the Russian General Laugeron has ar - rived from -schumla, e ll . beforudschuck, and has re intorced the cops * ot bservatinn which covers the siege of the place. litimedi.oely upon the depar ture of, this do: islet), the Grand Vizier 'made a fresh work upon the Russian arm) , but this, attack had the tytne fare as tho,e which efeceded it : _the Turks were Completely' beaten. The" priecipal Russian . war-depot upon the eght bank of the Danesite is aeleally the fortress of Silistriae This place «iii be better fortified that it has -ever before ben. The old %corks are already repair, d, and new ones are erecting, It will be provisiOtted for . six munths, and placed in a frirmidable state Of . defence. BERLIN, SEPT. 2.—The Russian products which. we kin:serf v received by the ports of the Baltic, con tinue to arrive here by means of caravans.. There are many carriages, each drawn by a single horse which travel together. This kind of carriage does not cost meth. After having delivered their goods the Russian carriers undertake to deliver other. Mer-• chandize at Frankfort upon •Oder, Leipsic, Ham burgh,-&c. This business does much harm to the Prussien carriers as they cannot transport merchan chanaize at so low a price. It is thought that his Majesty will pass fifteen des s in Silesia. They are working with great ac tivity on the mansoleuth of the late Queen. It will" be constructed in a noble, but simple style. It is observed that suicide was never so frequent in this town as at present. Some time ago a Jew bill-broker, frightened by the bad .state of his at fairs, killed himself.. Presious to thi4, two of his brothers had des'roy: d.themselves. These unhappy nsen chest- the species of death which the Jews commonly hold tee greatest horror : one drown ed 1, irnself, , anei! r threw himself out of a three . pin: of stair's wituto and the third shot himself with a pistol. 'On the lOth of August a young man,. between 14 and 15, likewise put a period .to his existence by a pistol, after having, in writing, sta'ed the,reasons which induced him to do it. " Ie is," said he ; " because h cannot vanquish my inch. natioh for line% ing." fie;-was brought up in a board sehool in this town. WORTZBURG, SEPT. I I.—The following are the details of the unfortunate' catastrophe which hap pen. d in the city of Eisnach About •ha)f-past eight o'clock, on the evening of tic Ist of. &pteniber, a• French %aggod, drawn by 9, horses, and loaded with 14 cases of powder, ' cartridges, and grenades, arrived at the gates of this city, and entered it : in spite of the difficulties which arose, the waggons - oentitaued their route, although it was remarked that one of them smoked ; it hardly arrived at the market-place, opposite one of the inns, when it caught fire with so great'an exolasion, that it was heard at Erfurt, 12 leaguesdistant. In a moment tee neighbouring 16uses-was on fire ; every person who was near tfieni was shattered to pieces. The herbs of 7 cannociers, who escorted the waggon. and of the horses,were scattered in the streets. Two young married' people, who were sitting in front of their bou,e, were crushed to pieces by an enormous free stone, which the explosion Innled upon them. M. Counsellor Derr has been burnt, and seven persons_ have be e n found drad in his house, Capt. Schenk occm.ied the second floor of this house; he was at the time in , 162r:room,' with his trite, chi;dren, and a very inter. sting person, daughter of Eiceell, Minis t.rof Finance ; when the Captain perceived the con fl at tore he precipitated. hiMself into the street, and was saved; his family and Miss Eichell fell a victim to tf e flanitss. In liumber house, Sellett, an Advocate, married about three weeks, was sitting at the' side of hi* young wicee on a couch near the windows which looked into the street ; tie explosion struck the wall and the t p oft he house, end, by a miraculous phe trom,.non, the couch fell front the second floor into the street, and the m.rti.d couple were quite free tram, danger, but all the others perished in the flames. The conflagration lasted:untd the afternoon of the Irv, day, although there were more titan an hundred penes at work, and a prodiei . ons number of persees as,eiebled.from all points to render assist ance. There are about forty houses burnt. The window s the houses of the ell have been broken; and there are very few houses where the ..!;, ,e; of the rooms had net been damaged. The nue. Leis of persons killed are already • known . to amoont to more than fifty. It is presumed that there are mote than ig!•ty persons mortally wound ed or very much maimed. - Some people have also tieen kelite: in endeavouring to extinguish the dames. The malt who had the care of the cAst le called Wart burgle having dreWn away, about forty balls filled. with combus!ihles, one of them, being too hot, burst and kith d him. At' a short distance from the waggon w' heircaused'so much distress, there was a tecetel ing it,_ equally loaded with powder ; - but just before the explosion, it fell back. A little further .there w ere six others of the same kind ; if they had immediately forl:3e ed, ss is custoreare, all the city would have been be one heap of ruins. It is impassible to paint the,consteruation among the i n habit= s e Th e number of famines who have lost their houses and ther fortunes is very considerable, • The greater numbers is in mourinig, of eas to mourn over some unfortunate one who is wounded. • IMPERIAL btelttt. • • • Imperial Palace of St. Cloud, Aug. la to.

The following Constitution has been circulated in West Florida, and is said - to have been well received in the neighbourhood of Baton Rouge. In New Filiciana, , much the most . populous, wealthy, and important di6triet in the province, we are intorMed there +is a considerable diversity of opinion. Some of the inhabitants favour the idea of an indeptildent Government ; a - strong pail is yet. in favOur of Ferd:nand the Vllth ; whilst the' mass of the inha bi,ants• are ,desirous of coming under the protec tion of the United States. From St. Helena, Tan chipaho and Christianue, we have not yet heard, but presume they would prefer the protaCtion or the United States. " When the sovereignty and independence-of a na tion have been destroyed by treachery or violeOce, the political ties which united its ditierent members are dissolved. astarst iirovinces, no longer. cherished or pro teEled by the Mother Country, have a right to in sltute for themselves such forms of Government as they -may think conducive to their safety and hcip piness.- The lawful Sovereign of Spain, together with his hereditary kingdoms in'Eurore, tarving laden under the dominion of a foreign Tyrant, by means- of treachery and laWless power, the right naturaliy-de- Valves upon the.peovle of the different pim inevs of that kingdom,•placed by nature beyond the grasp of the Usurp r, to provide for their own security. The allegiance which they owed and preser%ed w . nli so much fidelity to their lawful Sovcreign,' can never be transferred to the destroyer of their country's in.'; dependence. We, therefore, the people of West Florida; ex ercising the right which incoutestibly devolves upon us, declare . , that we no allegiance to the pre sent Ruler of the French nation, or to any King, Prince, or Sot ereign who . may be placed by him on the throne of Spain, and that we will always, and by all tite means in our pOWer, resist .any tyrannical usurpation over us. of whateVer kind, or by whom.. soever the same may be attempted to be. 'exercised for this purpose ; and in order more rift:dually to, provide against usurpation of our rights, to prese r ve domestic, tranquility, and secure to ourselveS the ° blessinai of peace, liberty and impartial administra tion cf justice, - we do ordain and establish' the fol lowing .: • Att.
